Great news, as you may know I already ported Space Quest 4 + 5 + 6 for Mac, but I am happy to announce the first 3 games as well! That’s right: Space Quest 1 + 2 + 3 for Mac is added to Porting Kit as on Crossover and works great (all 3 DOS games) as almost all DOS games do in Porting kit and Crossover. Ow and Linux users can play those games as well using Crossover! Happy gaming with these old GEMS!

A long time ago in a galaxy just around the corner you are the janitor in space. Your mission is to scrub dirty floors, to replace burned-out light bulbs, to clean out latrines… To boldly go where no man has swept the floor. See what happens yourself as Roger Wilco, intergalactic garbage-man, comes to the rescue. Packed with comedy, tragedy, suspense, horror and many other nouns. The Package includes Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter, Space Quest II: Vohaul’s Revenge and Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon

The game works great in Crossover, so that program is advised to use. So if you haven’t Crossover yet, then get it up here and buy the program or if you want to test it first, for the 14 days trial.

Great news and some less good news. Anno 1701 for Mac has been added to Porting Kit! The less good news is, it only works in Crossover for now… Reason is the Hardware check/diagnose, which get passed without issues on Crossover, but causes a black screen freeze in Porting Kit using Wineskin. Vitor is looking for a way to bypass this “check” because this is the only show stopper. Meanwhile the game will be only playable using Crossover at the moment. Maybe a good reason to get Crossover next to Porting Kit.

Anno 1701 is the most elaborate and expensive game production in the German speaking region and the sequel to the most successful, multi-million selling game series of all times. The third part of the unique combination of different genres creates a real-time building game and is also set in 16th and 17th century, the era of discoveries and maritime trade.

Last week Army Men 2 for Mac was added to Porting Kit and Crossover, and now I am glad to inform you guys that Army Men – Toys in Space for Mac is added as well! Works great out of the box and works great as well in porting kit as in Crossover (a indispensable application to run aside Porting Kit!). Enjoy this Classic

Finally, proof that little green men exist in outer space! A horde of alien toys has invaded Earth. Now, they’ve enlisted the Tan Army to help them conquer the galaxy. All hope rests with one man, a green plastic soldier known as Sarge. Enter Tina Tomorrow and her battalion of Space Troopers. Joining forces with the Green Army, they freeze, zap, vaporize, and blast their way through the bathroom and into outer space with the hopes of destroying the diabolical alliance in the name of good.

Great news! I checked ARMA 2 for Mac in Crossover and it works great! Some games works alone or better in Crossover and other games work only in Porting Kit and not in Crossover. For ARMA 2 it counts that graphics are better in Crossover. For Porting Kit it counts there is a bit more performance, but there are some glitches there. So you can choose what fits you best. I even made a quick video for this one which you can check out below.

The 27th U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit have been deployed to the former soviet country of Chernarus in this third installment in the series of award winning PC war simulators from Bohemia Interactive, creators of Operation Flashpoint*: Cold War Crisis and ARMA: Combat Operations.

Great news! Titan Quest Mac has been released on GOG.com. I made a port of it as soon as I could and here we are! It has been made available for both Portingkit and Crossover. I tested it on my low-end Intel HD 5000 Macbook Air and it works fine, although a medium/High end Mac is recommended. Enjoy this classic!

Steam/Portingkit Gaming

For all the (Windows) Steam games you own try use one of the 8 Steam Wrapper builds available in the Portingkit.

No guarantees that all games work. But the Steam games you will find on this website should work with one of them. If you notice a game which work great and isn't listed on this site let me know, so I can add the game in the list.
